The Best Trader Joe's Desserts Added In September 2026

There have been lots of goodies hitting Trader Joe's shelves recently, and, as always, there's something for every kind of customer. But there are times while we're browsing the aisles when we really wish we could fill our cart with all the sweet treats TJ's does so well. We'd stack it high with triple ginger snaps, mini sheet cakes, and salted maple ice cream, to name but three of the store's top-drawer desserts. But it's not just stalwarts. Every month brings a fresh cavalcade of goodies that set our mouths a-waterin', and this September is no exception. We're zooming in on new desserts to pick up at Trader Joe's, and there's more to the line-up than pumpkin, though it does put in a few appearances. It is fall, after all!

From a blondie mix that makes us go weak at the knees to an ice cream we reckon is far too good for sharing, to a sophisticated, fruity torte ready to warm the soul, Trader Joe's has got Team Sweet Tooth covered. As always, all prices and availability were correct at the time of writing. If you've got your eye on a particular item, check with your local TJ's to make sure it's in stock.

Wheel this gorgeous-looking dessert out at your next dinner party or brunch, and you're guaranteed to be met with "ooohs" of delight. Loaded with juicy plum halves that have been enveloped in a lattice of sweet, moreish batter that manages to be substantial yet light, TJ's plum torte will be a winner every time. Cook it from frozen in the oven and watch everyone perk up as they take in the delicious aroma.

We're forever flip-flopping about whether brownies are better than blondies, but the latter dessert gets a big thumbs up thanks to this new baking mix. One egg and a melted stick of butter is all that stands between us and blondie heaven, served with a maple twist. The mix is a limited-edition product, so if you spot it, grab it. You can even try adding this pantry staple we recommended for boxed brownies.

Be careful if you pick up a pint (or four) of this new entry into Trader Joe's ice cream canon, because the chances are you could eat the lot in a single day. Don't worry, you won't be alone! Excessive consumption warnings aside, this creamy concoction sounds a treat for the tongue, with tart apples, sweet pastry, and warming cinnamon, all wrapped in unctuous vanilla ice cream. TJ's recommends popping a dollop atop its aforementioned plum torte, and we couldn't agree more!

Sticking with the apple and cinnamon theme, this protein-heavy dessert is more of an everyday meal feature while still being deliciously dreamy. Chunks of real honeycrisp apples (one of the fave apples for fall snacking) are the stars of the show, but they're given a run for their money by the thick Greek yogurt made with whole milk. That pop of warm cinnamon reminds you it's fall while you're spooning a chilled dessert into your face.

We do love something sweet and bite-sized, so TJ's mini donuts tick all the right boxes. These cinnamon sugar-covered beauties are ideal for munching while you're going about your daily business or enjoying while watching your favorite movie. Want to keep the fam happy? Throw three in a bowl and serve them à la mode (that's with ice cream, to be clear) for a tasty dinnertime dessert.

For many, it's basically fall already, so there's no escaping the omnipresent flavor of pumpkin. Trader Joe's has jumped right on that bandwagon with a budget-friendly, pre-mixed offering that pulls double duty by making both bread and muffins. The latter option gets it to this run-down, and we're eager to give it a whirl. You can bake the muffins as the mix comes or throw in all kinds of extras. We're down for chopped nuts and apples, but you do you!

Small but perfectly formed is how we'd describe this seasonal entry into TJ's mini sheet cake line-up. This one has a sponge infused with all the flavors of fall, including pumpkin spice blend stalwarts like ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg, as well as pumpkin purée. The cream cheese frosting looks as good as it tastes, and the whole thing comes with a resealable lid. Trust us, once this little bad boy's opened, it's getting eaten in one sitting.

It's always great to see a familiar face, and TJ's regulars collectively celebrated when this seasonal fave popped up once again. The pumpkin cheesecake is a lighter, creamier alternative to a traditional pumpkin pie, and you can serve it with pretty much anything you fancy, from whipped cream to fresh fruit. Best of all, it's frozen, so there's practically zero preparation required. All you need is patience as you wait for it to thaw out.
